JAMES J. HINDE, OF SANDUSKY, OHIO.

WRAPPER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 761,172, dated May 31, 1904.

Application filed May 31, 1902. Serial No. 109,162. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JAMES J. HINDE,a citizen of the United States, residing at Sandusky, in the county of Erie and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wrappers, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

The invention relates to wrappers especially designed for protecting for shipment bottles and other fragile articles.

It is the object of the invention to obtain a construction in which the article is more effectively guarded than with constructions heretofore used; and to this end the invention consists in the construction as hereinafter described and claimed.

1n the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a wrapper, showing the two sections thereof as about to be engaged with each other. Fig. 2 is a cross-section through the wrapper as applied to the bottle.

Heretofore wrappers have been made of paper or other similar substance in the form of corrugated tubes. Such a wrapper pro tects the article packed therein, as the corrugations form cushions on all sides of the article, which guard it from injury.

It is the object of the present construction to increase the effectiveness of the wrapper by employing a plurality of corrugated tubes sleeved upon each other. It is obvious, however, that if these tubes were exactly similar in construction the corrugations of one would fall into mesh with those of the other or others, so that the cushioning efiected would not be materially increased. To overcome this difliculty, I have devised a construction in which the corrugations of the diiferent tubes are held out of mesh, so that the cushioning effect of the wrapper is proportional to the number of tubes used.

As illustrated in the drawings, A is an inner wrapper, shown as having longitudinal corrugations formed therein.

.B is an outer wrapper of a size to receive the Wrapper A telescopically and also provided with longitudinal corrugations. The corrugations a of the wrapper A are, however, of different size from the corrugations Z) of the wrapper B. Thus when the two sections are telescoped and arranged around the article, as illustrated in Fig. 2, the corrugations at and Z) are held out of mesh.

What I claim as my invention is 1. A wrapper comprising a plurality of telescopic sections of corrugated tubing, the corrugations of the tubes varying in size, whereby they are held out of mesh.

2. A wrapper comprising two or more corrugated sections, the corrugations of the sections being arranged longitudinally thereof, and varying in size whereby they are held out of mesh.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JAMES J. HIN DE.
